Creams and herbs will not work, save your money.Not many good choices to have larger implants without surgery. You can research and try "BRAVA" suction device, or gain weight (not advised). Hormone pills such as Birth Control Pills in many cases will result in a modest increase but is not predictable.Surgery is the most dependable and predictable method using implants or your own fat.

No scientific proof...

The size of a woman’s breasts can affect self-confidence,
self-esteem, self-image, sexually and how clothes fit.For these reasons, many women are motivated
to have larger breasts.Unfortunately,
many are unable to undergo breast augmentation with breast implants for a
variety of reasons.They may be afraid
of anesthesia and surgery or they may not have the financial resources.For
these women, breast enhancement with creams, pills and dietary supplements may
be an attractive alternative.Unfortunately, there’s no scientific proof that they actually work.In many cases, it’s unclear what the active
ingredients are and how they work, if they work at all.Some of the components may be hormonally
active and potentially have side effects that could be harmful. For
these reasons, we feel that breast augmentation with implants is the only
alternative that can significantly increase breast size.Before considering Fenugreek or flaxseed, you
should consult your physician.

Both fenugreek and flaxseed are said to contain compounds similar to human estrogen. There is a school of thought that these compounds can increase glandular (milk-producing) breast tissue. They are commonly used by nursing moms to try to increase milk supply. There is no scientific evidence that they will significantly increase breast size.

I have never seen a study documenting size change with these or any other supplements. I do a lot of breast surgery, and a number of patients have tried these and other products to no avail. (Obviously if there are successes out there they wouldn't come to see me for breast surgery.)

Most of the products are inexpensive and harmless in normal doses, so try it if you wish. But don't cancel your plastic surgery appointment!
